Why I became a WWOOF Host
From 2026 Kandanga Farm will only be hosting Interns (3-month min stay).
Few places offer so much diversity in land regeneration, organic production and consumer engagement experiences as Kandanga Farm.
From farming to agritourism, food production & processing to environmental projects – this is truely a “Farm to Fork” experience.
For intakes of 1-2 interns at a time, there will be regular daily tasks but also a range of varied experiences building skills and learning across all the enterprises.
Internships open to students or those interested in a future career in Regenerative food production and/or Organics.
Working as part of a team (and sometimes alone) we love people with enthusiasm, ability to think for themselves and solve problems on the run, and of course you need a passion for Organic & Regenerative agroecology!
People with practical skills are appreciated- butchering, mechanics, carpentry, livestock handling or general farm knowledge.
Perhaps something left field- environmental science, hospitality or the arts looking to put your mark in the future of food production or engagement with consumers through food.
To learn anything you either need time or money; if you have the time, we can help. Don’t get me wrong, we need help too, we have a busy life between the Farm http://www.kandangafarmstore.com.au, Organic Beef Brands- K2 Organic Beef & Ecomeat, and many community engagements!
The big picture is however – for real, nutrient dense, non factory-farmed food to become the norm; Regenerative, Organic farming must be profitable (when the true costs of production are accounted for- including environmental). We need your help with this!
Internships can be facilitated for 3+ months integrating our development goals with undertaking a farm-based project where you can make a real difference.
Learn how to PRACTICALLY and simultaneously improve ecological & production outcomes, measure both and work out continuous improvements.
Agroecology embraces stacked production, vertical integration & the regeneration of natural systems.
Sure, some of this is hard (but rewarding) work. For those willing to stay a while, you’ll be exposed to many facets of food production, not just doing some gardening (though potentially there’s some of that too).
Engagement of consumers and other farmers through our Kandanga Farm Store (including an on-site butcher shop) and onfarm B&B type accomodation plays an integral part in how to change “the system”.
Having travelled extensively in our past, we understand the long-term impact experiences had while travelling have.
We hope we are more than a stop-over close to Noosa in the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland – but it’s great to have that on our doorstep for weekends & time off. (45km from Noosa).
